As any master will tell you, one is never done learning about the mysteries of tea. Follow us as we travel, learn, and grow together!

Farm-Direct Trade

We get our teas directly from the family farms in the sunny hills and mist-shrouded mountains of far-off China. Direct Trade is the far more reliable alternative to Fair Trade. If you want to be sure where your products are coming from and where the money is going, you have to make the deals yourself. There's no substitute for passion. We have visited all of our farmers, throughout China, and we can assure you of their organic and fair methods of production.

All the Tea in Caina

Caina Tea's roots are in China. The founder, Cai Xian Na (蔡贤娜) is from Chaoshan, home of the Chinese Tea Ceremony in the heart of tea country. The business name is a combination of Xian Na Cai's middle name, Na (娜) and her family name, Cai (蔡). Together they form Caina (蔡娜), serendipitously pronounced as China, or Tsai-na. We have personally traveled throughout this vast country, much like the famous trader Marco Polo and the original tea sage Lu Yu (陆羽), to gather all the finest teas in Caina.

Vanguard of the Post-Organic Movement

"Organic" was a buzz word from conception. We're taking it back to the roots, so to speak. Wild was the original organic, and we've actually found wild grown Chinese teas. All our teas are flown directly from ecologically-conscientious tea farms in the isolated mountains of China. Tea is from the heart of China - That's where it originated and where the secrets of its production have been guarded and perfected over countless generations. Caina Tea is a direct extension of these ancient Chinese traditions.
